Burning Water: A Gwynn Reznick Mystery by talented mystery author Inge-Lise Goss, is a masterpiece of suspense with twists and turns galore.
The action packs a wallop as a horrific murder occurs at the onset of the story and kept this reader intensely curious to learn how the murderer was going to be caught – with Gwynn Reznick in the persona of Diane, playing a part-time accountant for the H&E Oil Company where the ‘accident’ took place. She takes another case for the benefit of a company attorney, although her longtime employer and love interest Rubin from R.D.’s Investigation Company, cautions her to tread lightly.
Gwynn is staying at the local hotel owned by her aunt and uncle, coincidentally where other employees of H&E Oil live. The locals are having issues with livestock, and with a slew of other investigators/attorneys on all these semi-related cases – nothing is as it seems in this riveting story, as well as the rest of the unsavory characters this reader found totally wary of trust.
When Holly shows up under the guise of Lara, ‘Diane’s’ BFF from school, it’s apparent she’s been sent to help Gwynne unearth the truth and to also protect her from her own devices – especially because of Ruben’s constant concern. And does the action stop there? NO! Add poisoning, embezzling, and blackmail to this mix, and this story’s ready to implode.
As the clues kept adding up, though, by the time I neared the end, the voice of “I didn’t see that one coming,” kept tickling my brain. I loved how Ms. Goss has perfected the art of complex teasing during a tale – coaxing the reader along by dropping crumbs here, then there, and leading the reader astray – or not.
Gosh, what a fun read! Five golden stars for the delightful tale Burning Water – and for keeping me in the dark, just when I thought I had it figured out.
